The Yard Ramp-A Different Kind of Ramp

Yard ramp models can accommodate railroad cars, trucks and trailers. Yard ramps are high-capacity and far exceed the smaller load ratings of fiberglass and aluminum ramps. Additionally, these ramps are often designed to compensate for a different or uneven height between the ground and the dock.

One very important feature of some yard ramps is the "lease potential." Some models are available for rent as well as purchase, making the yard ramp an affordable rental solution for those who don't have the budget to purchase one outright.

Most of these yard ramp rentals include a clause in the rental agreement stating that the lessor agrees not to use the ramp for any work above the rated capacity. Doing so makes the lessor liable for all damage to the ramp. Read the agreement carefully and know your yard ramp's capacity rating before the job begins!
